Allie (dance owner) and all the teachers love all the students, they have had to have taught the big girls to be kind to the little girls because all of the bigger students are so amazing with the Littles. There are various classes , and the teachers and staff pour themselves into the students. I highly recommend this studio. Hours are convenient, staff is amazing, and the dance owner is always there if you ever need to speak with her. She's not an absentee owner. Every time I go to drop my daughter for her class , she's either teaching, or just pulling up. I will always tell people to go here when they ask where my daughter dances.

As we were wedding planning, one of the things on our to-do list was choosing our first dance song…read more To avoid looking like we were Napolean Dynamite and Deb at their high school dance on our wedding day, we contacted the studio and went in for a trial lesson. It was one of the best decisions we could have made. We got so much more than just a choreographed dance. They taught us a variety of basic dance styles; helped us choreograph a dance routine to two songs and even gave us the music to give to our DJ. On top of that, they helped us navigate the dance floor setup so that our wedding photographer would get the best photos of us. They are very thoughtful and detailed in their craft. All of the instructors and students are fun, patient and kind. They have a fun sense of community. We worked mostly with Devany and Tawni, and they really made our dance a successful one on our special day. We will definitely be returning for group classes.

Rize All: Where quiet kids dance!…read more We came in with our nervous, quiet kid who surprised us when he decided to join a hip hop class. Ms. Mona and Julia welcomed him with positivity and kindness, helping him feel comfortable in minutes. As soon as class started, he was grooving! As performance day arrived I feared he would lose confidence but he jumped on stage with a HUGE smile and pride! Rize All isn't just about dance--it's about confidence and pure joy. P.S. If you're on the fence--do it. What have you got to lose?

Our youngest daughter is four and absolutely loves to dance. She went with a friend to an…read moreintroductory class at another studio and loved it. Parking is typically pretty easy to find in the large shopping center they're in. We signed her up for their once a week introduction to dance class. She loved her classmates and instructor and wanted to do their recital in June. The class provided a lot of valuable life lessons. She learned and had several things reiterated: confidence, human kindness, paying attention, respect, responsibility, timeliness, and trying your hardest. Their waiting room is exceptionally small, and they prefer you drop off and pick up your child after class. Unfortunately, that's not realistic for her due to some separation anxiety issues, but we'll continue working on it. Starbucks and Walgreens are both within walking distance for those who are able to drop off their child or children. They sell a variety of ballet and dance apparel and shoes. The recital costumes were reasonably priced and absolutely gorgeous. Tickets were also reasonably priced, and the show was well planned and executed. Our daughter's dance partner bailed on her before the second show, and her instructor Mona helped instill the confidence in her to perform a solo rendition that she did a fantastic job with. She's excited to begin class again in August after soccer is over and to perform again in December's recital.

They teach Tahitian and Hawaiian dancing. Down to the attitude, the teachers and students are soooo relaxed and just want to have fun there. Their prices are amazingly affordable and they have multiple class times throughout the week. The younger classes are separate from the older girls and they have many performances throughout the year to show off their skills. The mirrored dance studio is older but fits the need and price point in order to teach Hula Dancing for any budget!

After attending many of my daughters classes I also decided to join; I had never danced hula a day in my life and although I'm far from mastering the dance I mostly continue to come because it's such a great work out!!

After firsthand experience as a grandparent, I feel compelled to speak up because the concerns…read moreraised in recent reviews are not isolated. The facility is consistently unclean and poorly maintained. In today's climate--especially in spaces serving children--basic cleanliness and supplies should be non-negotiable. That standard is simply not met here. While the owners often emphasize that they "donate" their time, this is irrelevant to families paying for a service. Clients are not responsible for a business's internal sacrifices. If an academy positions itself as elite, it should reflect that through professional staffing, preparedness, structure, and a clean, safe environment. Classes feel inconsistent and under-prepared, communication is minimal, and expectations are unclear. Clients are left guessing instead of feeling informed and confident. The shared bathroom situation raises legitimate safety concerns, especially for young children when parents are unavailable. This issue is dismissed rather than addressed, which is troubling. Most parents and grandparents do not leave negative reviews lightly. The volume and consistency of critical feedback across multiple locations should give prospective families pause. Ultimately, there are many well-run, professional dance studios in the area that prioritize structure, safety, communication, and respect for families. This was not one of them. My grandchildren will not be returning.

Thankfully I did not sign.The woman i signed up with and paid is actually one of the people who put a positive review which leads to more questions on the validity of their already limited positive reviews.I would never recommend this place to anyone.There are so many amazing dance studios in the area, why settle for way below par.Stay far away!
